For my card share today, I watercolored some images from the Peaceful Petals stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  My card design was inspired by Retrosketches #106.  I wanted to keep the background subtle so that the flowers would really pop on the card front so I did some white on vanilla embossing.

I started by stamping the branch image from the Peaceful Petals stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) on a Very Vanilla panel in VersaMark Ink.  I sprinkled the images with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed them.

Then adhered the stamped panel to a Whisper White card base with SNAIL.  I stamped the flower images from the Peaceful Petals stamp set in VersaMark in on a Very Vanilla panel and heat embossed the with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder as well.

I used my Aqua Painter and my Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron and Garden Green ink pads to watercolor the flower images.  I let the panel try completely, then adhered it to a Whisper White panel, then the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Petals stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink on a Very Vanilla panel, punched the end with my Hexagon Punch to create the banner, then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a single Rich Razzleberry Candy Dot (from the Brights Candy Dots pack) next to the sentiment to finish the clean and simple look.

I stamped a single flower in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a Very Vanilla panel inside the card.
